Parrish signs with Raiders (updated)

Receiver/ kick returner Roscoe Parrish was waived by the Chargers Monday, and agreed to terms with the Raiders that night and signed Tuesday. To make room on the roster, the Raiders waived/injured OL Zach Hurd.

Parrish, 30, spent his first seven seasons in Buffalo. His 12.0-yard career average on punt returns is second only to Devin Hester (12.9) since 2005. He signed a one-year deal with San Diego but saw receiver/returner Micheal Spurlock steal his thunder, or lightning bolt as the case may be.

The Raiders have had injuries to Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore and their kick-return game this preseason has been dreadful.

The 5-foot-10, 168-pound Parrish entered the NFL as the Bills’ second-round selection (55th overall) in the 2005 draft out of the University of Miami.
